PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD — Huntington, West Virginia, 16 Feb 63

This document contains a Project 10073 record card and a corresponding witness report regarding an unidentified aerial phenomenon observed on February 16, 1963, in Huntington, West Virginia. The witness, a civilian, observed a point of light while looking out of an east-facing window at the Connors Steel Division of the H.K. Porter Company. The witness noted that the object appeared near the star Altair, moving from the southeast to the northwest before disappearing into a bank of fog. The witness estimated the object's position at approximately 10 degrees above a reference star. The weather conditions were described as clear and cold with a half-moon and a characteristic haze over the Ohio Valley. The witness explicitly noted that the object did not pulse, dim, or brighten during its flight, contrasting it with a previous sighting in December. The official evaluation by ATIC concluded that the sighting was most likely an aircraft, noting that the reported motion and position were coincident with the ECHO I satellite, which was over Huntington at 0507 AM on the same date, moving northeast. The file includes a copy of the envelope addressed to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and a printout of data logs related to the observation.
